Domaine Ramonet, Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets 2010

The Chassagne Les Caillerets 2010 from Ramonet is a truly gorgeous wine. In the bouquet lovely ripe yellow fruit with notes of pear, melon and a hint of anis. The finely grained stony minerality is adding to the complexity of the nose – very refined and a bit understated. On the palate very fine pure fruit, very good energy, finely focused and refined with a almost silky texture. The finish is long and refined with a delicate minerality and a playful acidity. A 2010 statement from Ramonet – Chassagne 1er cru doesn’t come much better than this.
